Yobe
29 Yobe apitiriza kulonga, mbati:
2 “Mbidakhala mwadidi mbidabwerera pyanga m’miyezi ya nduli,
Mu ntsiku zikhanditsalakana Mulungu,
3 Pikhacitisa iye kuti nyale yace imwanikire pa nsolo panga.
Pikhafamba ine ncidima mbandimwanikirwa na ceza cace,+
4 Pikhali ine m’phale na mphambvu,
Pikhali ine na uxamwali na Mulungu pa nsasa wanga,+
5 Mu ndzidzi wakuti Wamphambvu Zonsene akhali na ine,
Pontho ananga akhali n’khundu mwanga,
6 Pikhatsuka ine manyalo anga mu nkaka wadidi,
Mu ndzidzi wakuti miyala ikhandibulusira mikulo ya mafuta a azeti.+
7 Pikhaenda ine pansuwo wa nzinda,+
Mbandikhala pa mpando wanga pa mbuto inatongerwa anthu,+
8 Aphale akhandiona mbapeuka toera ndipite,
Na ankhalamba ene akhalimira mbapitiriza dzololo.+
9 Atsogoleri akhamatama;
Mbaikha manja pamulomo pawo.
10 Atsogoleri akhapitiriza kumatama;
Lirimi yawo ikhaphatirira padzulu nkanwa mwawo.
11 Ule akhandibvesera akhandilonga mwadidi,
Pontho ale akhandiona akhapereka umboni thangwi ya ine.
12 Thangwi ine ndikhapulumusa nyakutcerenga wakuti akhakhuwa mbaphemba ciphedzo,+
Kuphatanizambo mwana waumphawi na ule akhasowa munthu wakum’phedza.+
13 Ule wakuti akhali dhuzi toera kufa akhandipasa nkhombo,+
Pontho ine ndikhatsandzayisa ntima wa nzice.+
14 Ine ndikhabvala ulungami ninga nguwo;
Ulungami wanga ukhali ninga tunika* na nguwo yakuphimbira nayo nsolo.
15 Ndikhali ninga maso kuna boliboli,
Pontho ndikhali ninga miyendo kuna nyakulamala miyendo.
16 Ine ndikhali baba kuna nyakutcerenga;+
Ndikhaphedza anthu anakhonda ine kudziwa toera atongwe mwakulungama.+
17 Ndikhaswa ntsaya za nyakuipa,+
Mbandipulumusa ale akhathabusa iye.
18 Kazinji kene ine ndikhalonga: ‘Ndinafera panyumba panga,*+
Pontho ntsiku za umaso wanga zinakhala zizinji kakamwe ninga tcetca.
19 Mitcitci yanga inamwazika mpaka m’madzi,
Pontho bume inakhala mu nthawi zanga masiku onsene.
20 Mbiri yanga isasasanyirwa ndzidzi onsene,
Pontho ndinapitiriza kuponya mapswimo na uta uli m’manja mwanga.’
21 Anthu akhandibvesera mwadidi,
Mbadikhira mwakupfulika toera kubvesera uphungu wanga.+
22 Pikhamalisa ine kulonga, iwo nee akhalibve na cakulonga;
Mafala anga akhali akutsandzayisa kuna iwo.
23 Iwo akhandidikhira ninga akudikhira madzi anafuna kubvumba;
Iwo akhafuna kakamwe kubvesera mafala anga ninga munthu anadikhira kubvumba kwa madzi akumalisa a pa caka.+
